The public pool is fun and all, but spending the afternoon throwing down some moves on a giant inflatable water slide? That's how we want to cool down this summer. Luckily, you've got just a few more days left to tick off that little summer bucket-list item, at The District Docklands' supersized pop-up Slip 'n' Slide.
Making its home beneath the soaring Melbourne Observation Wheel, the Astroturfed water park will be sticking around to offer some sweet heat relief until Sunday, January 26. The leafy pop-up is decked out with garden games and a water mist zone, though the star of the show is the elevated, 25-metre-long blow-up water slide.
This bright yellow monster is free to ride and fitted out with two lanes, so you can even challenge your mates to a few cheeky races. It might be mostly for kids, but as long as you're over the age of four and taller than 110 centimetres, anyone's allowed to have a go.
It's open from 11am until 5pm each day.
